The Villalobos Brothers have mastered the art of crafting original compositions and arrangements that not only pay homage to the richness of Mexican folklore but also push the boundaries of musical exploration.
Notably, the Villalobos Brothers recently earned acclaim for their collaboration with Arturo O'Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, resulting in the Grammy-winning album "Fandango At The Wall Live in NYC," which was awarded the Best Latin Jazz Album of 2022. This remarkable project brought together renowned international musicians for a concert at the border, serving as a testament to the power of music to bridge divides.
